Pros

Softchoice is a phenomenal company to work for. The solutions and services it brings to market positions it uniquely to continue to see considerable YoY growth and take market share. As a workplace, we enjoy a diverse and inclusive culture or hardworking people that represent the most exceptional talent in the industry. The office feels like a start up but has the support and resources of a Fortune 500 company. I've never worked with smarter, more capable individuals.

Cons

None really come to mind.

Pros

Free lunches, overall fellow employees are cool but not management

Cons

No opportunity to make money and onboarding training is not sufficient for people who have no prior experience in technology

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We take feedback like this very seriously. Our Sales Academy is an intensive 12 week program with a mix of in-class and on the job training. The first phase in the classroom is all about learning different technologies, Softchoice's offerings and go-to-market strategies. We focus on how to add value to our customer's experience. In the second phase of onboarding, our sales reps have the opportunity to apply their learning through real customer interactions and on-the-job experience. This year, the Sales Academy was recognized by the Institute for Sales Excellence for being a phenomenal onboarding program and for the impact it has on our sales organizations. You can see our press release here: https://www.softchoice.com/about/press/2017/249 and a list of IES winners from all categories here: https://i4esbd.com/awards/. Lastly, we recognize that the Softchoice is not for everyone. If at any point during Sales Academy, a student doesn't feel connected with the path they're on, we encourage them to have candid conversations with their manager and development coach. Ultimately, we actively encourage sales reps to own the outcome of their learning experience. In fact, graduates of our Sales Academy see success faster and earlier than sales peers who haven't enjoyed the Sales Academy experience.
